Publication number: 20180161918Abstract: Methods of and devices for forming edge chamfers and through holes and slots on a material that is machined using a laser, such as an ultrafast laser. The shaped material has predetermined and highly controllable geometric shape and/or surface morphology. Further, a method of and a device for preventing re-deposition of the particles on a material that is machined using a laser, such as an ultrafast laser. A fluid is used to wash off the particles generated during the laser machining process. The fluid can be in a non-neutral condition, with one or more chemical salts added, or a condition allowing the coagulation of the particles in the fluid, such that the particles can be precipitated to avoid the reattachment to the machined substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2018Publication date: June 14, 2018Inventors: Ramanujapuram A.

Publication number: 20140027951Abstract: The method of and device for cutting brittle materials with tailored edge shape and roughness are disclosed. The methods can include directing one or more tools to a portion of brittle material causing separation of the material into two or more portions, where the as-cut edge has a predetermined and controllable geometric shape and/or surface morphology. The one or more tools can comprise energy (e.g., a femtosecond laser beam or acoustic beam) delivered to the material without making a physical contact.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2013Publication date: January 30, 2014Applicant: Raydiance, Inc.Inventors: Ramanujapuram A.

Publication number: 20090314751Abstract: Methods and systems for use during laser-scribing of a workpiece are provided. Some of the methods and systems provided use an imaging device to control the formation of a laser-scribed feature so as to more closely align with a previously-formed feature. Some of the methods and systems provided use an imaging device for inspection of a laser-scribed feature and/or process control. Some of the methods and systems provided use an imaging device to detect and avoid a workpiece defect during the formation of a laser-scribed feature.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2009Publication date: December 24, 2009Applicant: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Antoine P. Manens, Bassam Shamoun, Jeffrey S. Sullivan, John White, Michael Shirk

Publication number: 20060166550Abstract: A stacked jack multi-port shielded and magnetically conditioned connector assembly is provided for assembly in three distinct configurations. In one configuration where power over ethernet is not required, the connector assembly has modular jack terminals which are directly connected to a motherboard. In a second configuration, the connector assembly can receive conditioned and controlled electrical signals to the connector, whereby power over ethernet may be provided through designated ones of the modular jack terminals. In a third configuration, the connector assembly is configured for an integrated power over ethernet card, whereby the device is provided as an integrated assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2006Publication date: July 27, 2006Inventors: Keith Murr, Nancy Reeser, Michael Shirk, Michael Fogg, Michael Cina

Publication number: 20060102601Abstract: A system for machining a workpiece to desired finished workpiece specifications. The system comprises a system for producing a laser beam; a system for positioning the workpiece relative to the laser beam; a system for measuring the topography of the work piece and producing workpiece topography data; and a computer and control system operatively connected to the system for producing a laser beam, to the system for positioning the workpiece relative to the laser beam, and to the system for measuring the topography of the work piece and producing workpiece topography data. The computer and control system compares the workpiece topography data with the desired finished workpiece specifications and controls the system for positioning the workpiece relative to the laser beam so that the workpiece is moved with respect to the laser beam in a desirable fashion, within certain velocity, acceleration, and distance constraints.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2005Publication date: May 18, 2006Inventors: Michael Shirk, Jevan Furmanski

Publication number: 20050282432Abstract: A stacked jack multi-port shielded and magnetically conditioned connector assembly is provided for assembly in three distinct configurations. One configuration is where power over ethernet is not required, but rather modular jack contacts are directly connected to a motherboard. A second configuration, the connector assembly can be configured to be enabled to receive conditioned and controlled electrical signals to the connector, whereby power over ethernet may be provided through designated ones of the modular jack contacts. Alternatively, the connector can be configured for an integrated power over ethernet card, where the device is provided as an integrated assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2004Publication date: December 22, 2005Inventors: Keith Murr, Nancy Reeser, Michael Shirk, Michael Fogg, Michael Cina

Publication number: 20050003696Abstract: A lever-style de-latch mechanism for a pluggable electronic module, such as an SFP MSA fiber optic transceiver or other pluggable optoelectronic or electronic module. The mechanism is easily accessible to an operator and does not require any tools to operate. The mechanism uses rotational motion of a lever about a horizontal axis transverse to a horizontal direction of elongation of a module, or about a vertical axis (relative to a module extending in a horizontal plane), to cause translational motion of the de-latch actuator. Mechanisms including both T and bail latch style levers are provided. The lever may be adjacent to, or extend beyond, the front/face of the module's housing for tool-free accessibility and operation. The mechanism may allow the user to apply force to actuate the mechanism in a direction that does not oppose a withdrawal and/or module ejection force.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2004Publication date: January 6, 2005Applicant: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Michael Shirk, Michael Long, Michael Phillips, William Schnoor
